Encoding Canon C500 MXF to MOV for Premiere Pro 6 editing smoothly

If you encountered problems with Canon C500 MXF when importing to Premiere Pro CS6 on Mac, please follow this post below to know how to import Canon C500 mxf to PPro CS6 for editing without rendering.

Canon EOS C500 offers a Super 35mm, 8.85-megapixel CMOS image sensor.
The professional 4K video camera output that it promised at the NAB trade show
in April. A continuation of the concept of the C300, it can capture Raw 4K video
footage and offers frame rates of up to 120fps in compressed 4K. It also
captures 2K footage (2,048 x 1,080 pixels) at 12-bit, with 4:4:4 Y'CbCr chroma
sub-sampling for high colour resolution.

While Canon C500 MXF recordings
brings better quality and convenient for broadcasting, but most users usually
occurred some error messages during the editing process as the MXF still cannot
fully supported by some video editors like Adobe Premiere Pro CS6. So if you are
using Adobe Premiere Pro for editing just like me, the best workaround for us is
to convert Canon C500 MXF to Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 MOV,
which is the most compatible format for Premiere Pro CS6, and it will make the
editing work much smooth and easier.

Preparation for C500 to Adobe
Premiere Pro CS6 conversion:

You can use the best Canon MXF Converter for Mac, which was a great C500 MXF Converter for Mac
users. It can not only convert Canon C500 MXF videos to Premiere Pro without
quality loss, but also can make it easy for merging multiple video clips.
